VIDEO: Merhi lost his place in the race due to a collision

Racer Manor Marussie, Roberto Merhi, in the first Formula Renault 3.5 race, where he competes in Formula One, after crossing the finish line, did the stupidity that cost him to compete in the second and third races, the race end in Austria. When he crossed the finish line in fourth, he immediately slowed sharply and fifth-placed Nicholas Latifi could not avoid a collision with the Spaniard. Although the collision was severe and the two cars were badly damaged, both racers were able to walk away from the crash site. The commissioners initially attributed a 10-second penalty to Merhi, pushing him to 11th place in the 1st race standings, but later banned him from appearing in the second and third races.

Manor will show potential in Spain

formula 1

Manor team boss John Booth believes his team will start showing real potential at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend. The team has struggled over the winter to revive Marussia, and for the past few months they have been struggling to survive.

Manor’s boss hopes for changes in a positive direction as Formula 1 returns to Europe. "The first two months of the year and six weeks until Melbourne were nothing more than getting the car ready for the starting line.

ExMarussia, Manor very likely with Ferrari engines

formula 1

Maurizio Arrivabene has confirmed talks with the Manor team (formerly Marussia), which is struggling to get to the starting line of Formula One. They have already done a lot with Manor, but it stops somewhere other than with money. Ferrari and McLaren have lent Manor £ 10 million, but if there is any of that, the team will be driving with Maranello generators and last year's ones. they are doomed to failure, but they will still be good for the number on the starting line.

Marussia has not yet given up

formula 1

The Marussia F1 Team has yet to give up on the possibility of returning to the top class of motorsport, although other teams have voted against the proposal to compete in last season’s race car. The team nonetheless says their plan to return from bankruptcy, scheduled for Feb. 19, and re-run is perfectly feasible. Sports director Graeme Lowdon said: "We are doing everything we can to ensure a comeback, which would be fantastic news for the whole sport. We want to race." The strategic group of Formula 1, which includes Mercedes, Red Bull, Williams, Ferrari, McLaren and Force India, as well as the FIA and owners with commercial rights, has therefore voted against the possibility of using the old car.

Haas and Audi in the hunt for the remains of Marussie

formula 1

The failed Marussia goes to market, you might say. Namely, the auction starts today, where we can all participate in the purchase of the team's remains. There are many different parts on sale, from advertising material, souvenirs, racing car parts, furniture, workshop, workshop equipment and so on. Practically everything is available to start your Formula One team, only the contract with Ferrari for the supply of engines still needs to be secured. You can follow the auction on GAEV.com. A lot of interest in certain things comes from America, more specifically from Gene Haas, co-owner of the NASCAR team, which is also entering Formula One. Gene wants transport trucks, the furniture is also interesting to him, and parts of dikralni, which would make it easier for him to enter the Formula One caravan. Gene said the English teams are having a weird time
